RABID PUPPIES 2016 Make the Hugos Great

On the heels of last year's magnificent campaign, which successfully placed 58 of its 67 recommended nominees on the ballot and inspired no less than 5 No Awards, the Supreme Dark Lord of the Evil Legion of Evil is proud to Make the Hugos Great Again by announcing his recommendations for the 2016 Hugo Awards.

"Many of the things that were said about the Puppies last year by luminaries of the field such as George R.R. Martin, David Gerrold, and John Scalzi were deeply hurtful," said Vox Day, as he quaffed blood from the silvered skull of an SJW. "But I think we've learned from our past mistakes and put together a kindler, gentler, list of recommendations that will entertain the casual reader of science fiction and fantasy, as well as inform the more serious observers of the field what a ghastly collection of criminally sick freaks have been inhabiting the community of science fiction fandom for decades."

Some of the more notable recommendations include:

Moira Greyland's account of her childhood abuse at the hands of her mother, the award-winning science fiction writer Marion Zimmer Bradley

SF great Jerry Pournelle, whose groundbreaking There Will Be War series returned after a 25-year absence due to the end of the Cold War.

"Safe Space as Rape Room", a five-part series on the pedophiles and child molesters who have preyed upon children in the science fiction community.

"Space Raptor Butt Invasion", a sensuous space romance that is a tribute to true diversity in science fiction.

A complete list of the recommendations for all 16 categories, including the 2016 Campbell Award for Best New Writer, can be found here: Rabid Puppies 2016.

"You may now commence the ritual denunciations," the Supreme Dark Lord added. "Open up your hate and let it flow into me."

I just love this blog. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth to be certain. The torment this unleashes is sadistically entertaining. I am torn between the manifestation of compassion on such fools and the desire for humanity to be rid of their insanity.

I too have learned from my past missed stakes. Certainly, I did not fully appreciate the hollow chests and absent hearts of our enemies, nor how much empty space resided within their heads, not just how well padded against deep piercing they tend to be, from chins to cankles.

Happily, I have solved the problem. Henceforth, we shall simply impale our enemies through the existing egress, and not concern ourselves with lancing any particular internal organ.

This should prove doubly effective for though we have found them to be almost uniformly lacking in hearts or minds, they are to a manlette absolutely full of shit.

@19 Eh, and the proper term for transforming SJW bones into kindling is not, in fact, "kindler" but "faggotting," but the style is what matters, and this version has that in spades. Through the heart. The sweet, soft, trembling heart.

Have they figured out that just maybe, they never should have let their hate of your political opinions, drive them to personally slander you? Then with no justifiable cause, throw you out of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

@21 I thought "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" was just a construct for rhetorical/satirical lolz. However, according to Amazon, it's.... actually a thing. To answer your question, it appears unrelated to "If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love". Different author, gay-dino-pr0n instead of hetero-dino-pr0n, different setting, etc.

This crept it's way into the file 770 comments on the related work conversation.

TW, you *do* realize that things that would be regarded now as pedophilia were a standard practice, and in one example I can think of a *mandatory* practice, in several societies other than the modern West, right?

And that our dealings with pedophilia are tainted by the moral panic that have transformed it into a modern witchhunt – the modern West as a whole can no more deal with the topic any more fairly than medieval Christian Europe could have evaluated Wicca if confronted by it. It’s just that paranoia that little Teddy Beale is trying to tap into with his childish smear campaign.

This while there are pages and pages of denials that anyone is apologizing for pedophilia. The funny part is the other commentators just take it in stride and act like it isn't there. The simultaneous attack on Christianity makes it even more damning.

I wonder if this quoted idiot is aware that Wicca was cooked up in the 1950s and was never an issue for Medieval Europe?

Nor were any of the pedophilia offenders members of anything other than Modern Western culture, which is the only place SF fandom was found for most of their lifetimes, as an offshoot of the general wealth of Modern Western culture compared to the average run of humanity. Just because some awful long dead bunch thought kiddy diddling was cool 1400 years ago doesn't excuse it for anyone born and raised in the West any time in the last century or so.

We always hear about how stupid and evil Christians were for burning witches, but if medieval witches were overweight yet self-important nagging butchy narcissistic sexual deviants with purple hair and tattoos urging (in sneering, holier-than-thou terms) the Christians to be accepting of kiddy-diddling, one would think a quick yet fair trial, a legal conviction, and a whiner roast would both increase the average IQ of the average medieval town, and lower its mean average of mean-spirited neurotic anger.

The net result would be a calmer, wiser people.

Historically speaking this culling process perhaps meant that the average increase over time of calm and cranial capacity would usher in the legal, scientific and industrial revolutions for which we in the West are rightfully proud.

I submit that all the progress of the modern world rests solely on the historically beneficial side effects of witch burning.

Rome had a huge purge of witches in her pagan days, larger than any Christian one, and then she won the Punic Wars and expanded to a continental empire. Coincidence? I think not!

I suggest scholarly study be made of the eugenic and beneficial side effects of the conviction and incineration of witches in the modern day?

Done purely in the interests of science to see if earthquakes, blights, cow disease, or ecological disorders which witches claim to be able, by their arts, to influence, would go down. Let us not be closed minded on the topic.

And if the peace and good order returned to society, and the average civility of men or the average good looks in women went up, so much the better.
